Applied Technical Services usually performs Voltage Drop Testing to test loads and locate potential circuit problems.
Voltage drops within a circuit can cause a loss of electrical energy, resulting in undesired heat. Excessive voltage loss can lead to unreliable product performance, equipment damage and, in extreme circumstances, fires.
